WHY THE PRICE INCREASES?

Our Sponsorship deal with Triumph Motorcycles has reached it's end this year and we thank them for their fantastic support over the last 3 years. However, this means we are struggling with funding this year. Since the beginning of the year we have been looking for more Corporate Sponsors and have just started a Crowdfunding site.

Despite this, we need to increase the ticket price this year to help us cover the costs of the marquees and infrastructure.
So as well as the weekend ticket and advance day ticket rising by £5, there will now be a registration fee of £5 per bike entry.
There will also be a £5 charge for cars and vans and camper vans to park on site.
We hope you understand why we've had to introduce these increases as we've always prided ourselves on keeping the costs to our guests low and the quality of the event high.
We still think The Happening is great value for money and a really unique show with the most amazing bikes, and fantastic live music. So if you don't want to lose it, you need to use it, register your bike or make sure you come along and bring your friends.
The event has a 500 person limit so book early to avoid disappointment on the day.

bike show

pre register here

• Invited bikes get FREE entry
Invites will be given out by us at events throughout the year and if those bikes are pre-registered by 31st August,
they will be issued an entry number and the bike and the owner will get free entry into the show.
All cars, vans and camper vans will be charged a £5 parking fee.

• Pre-registered bikes £5
Anyone who has an album of their build on the page can ask to pre-register their bike by 31st August.
Anyone without a build album of their bike on the page who wants to pre-register, will need to provide
their bike as content for an album before the pre-registration cut off date. If accepted they will be issued
an entry number.
All cars, vans and camper vans will be charged a £5 parking fee.

• On the Gate: £30 Friday (weekend ticket) or £15 Saturday
Anyone who turns up on the day at the gate with a bike for the Show and who has not pre-registered will need
to pay the full entry fee. Entries on the day if accepted, will be given an entry number, but cannot be guaranteed
a plinth in the Show Marquee (there will be space on the grass available outside) and will not get a write up
next to their bike but they will still be eligible for all trophy categories.
All cars, vans and camper vans will be charged a £5 parking fee.

Our trophies will again be hand-forged by the fantastic 'Artisan Uprising'

The Show will be judged by Twisted Iron and Blue Miller – Editor of 100% Biker Magazine

Trophy categories are:

- Best Styling
- Best Paint
- 'Work in Progress' (WIP)

- Best In Show

MOB Rule Trophy

The 'MOB Rule Trophy' is voted for by the audience on the day and the trophy will be a one-off piece of artwork unique to this category.
